It's official: Shaq tells us the reasons for Washington are: "It's where my heart is; second highest graduation rate in the Pac-12..."

Just heard from Shaq;Wash was a close 2nd to Cal earlier;really likes Tosh Lupoi,academics;best friend James Sample is there. It's done.

Cannot underestimate Tosh Lupoi impact here;had Lupoi next left Cal,Shaq would be a Bear & so likely would have Armstead;domino affect HUGE

Baseball was another big factor for UW, Sark was willing to allow him to miss some spring ball, family appreciated the flexibility

@bclose32 Not UW baseball, family is hopeful of getting drafted and doing minor league baseball in the spring, football in the fall

There's really nothing to say. Best of luck Shaq.
